Bring
A water bottle, comfortable layers and a small towel if you expect to sweat. We dance barefoot, with no shoes on the dance floor.

Vancouver, we are going big.
A major launch for the city, held by two hand-picked, trained facilitators who built Dance Temple from the ground up.
Dance Temple co-founders Naomi Jason and Lila Spencer will bring the full practice into Rolla: grounded facilitation, a body-led musical journey and a room big enough for Vancouver to properly let go. This is the launch event. There is no choreography and no experience needed. We dance barefoot, so shoes stay off the dance floor.
Our shared principles
How we move
together.
Freedom works best with awareness. You are welcome to move your own way while helping everyone else feel comfortable doing the same.
The session starts with a simple facilitated arrival, rises through a DJ-led musical journey, then lands with a shared closing. Newcomers are welcome. Final arrival and start times will be added when tickets open.
Clear heads
This is a substance-free and scent-free space. Please skip perfume, essential oils and other scented products.
Phones away
The dance floor is phone-free. If you need to use your device, please step into the foyer or outside.
Movement & consent
Enjoy your own dance or move with someone else when the invitation is mutual. Look for clear eye contact and body language, and give people room to change their mind at any time.
Quiet floor
We keep conversation off the dance floor so everyone can stay with the music. Step outside the room when you need to chat.
All ages
Kids are warmly welcome and remain in the care of their grown-up. Please keep them close, help them respect quieter moments and make sure they do not run across the dance floor.
Care for the room
Come feeling well, arrive freshly showered, keep your shirt on and wipe up any sweat you leave behind.
Take care
Listen to your body, respect the people around you and choose the level of movement that feels right. There are no steps to learn and no pressure to perform.
